The top trending clip on our radar is of rapper Paulus Ndjambi, popularly knows My N*gga Get Rich, living his life to the fullest, gallivanting with money. The scene is supposedly from a new and upcoming music video.

My N*gga Get Rich can be heard reciting some verses that sound like they are from a song. “Get rich my n*gga; get rich. Stay fresh stay true; stay free. Us n*ggas, we love money. It is not easy to be me. Jealous. N*ggas want to be like me; no it is not easy to be me,” he uttered.

He can be seen throwing money around since people have been mocking him all along, before showing a shiny watch, worth a million dollars in the 46-second clip.

Although many are happy he is being his true self, the rapper got criticised for showing so much money on social media, as it is illegal, according to the Bank of Namibia.

The bank has on previous occasions issued a statement, cautioning the community that the posting of pictures and videos of Namibian dollar notes on social media contravenes Section 25 of the Bank of Namibia Act, 1997 (Act No.15 of 1997), as amended.

 Copying, depicting, replicating or stimulating any part or whole visual part of the country’s currency is prohibited, which the users on social media were aware of and are tagging the bank for notification.

He later posted: “I want to know why Namibian people are wondering to see this small cash on the table since 2017 to 19. l am been counting money with the machine. Now, no more with the machine. They must check all my music video on YouTube – just search ‘My N*gga Get Rich’.”
